RE:west Africa (i.e. Mali) one of the BEST jurisdictions...
Gentile has to promote ROS, since he is a director and major shareholder there. You have to distinguish promotion from useful and credible information. Even ROS has already missed that absurd 3-year target, and they are of course years away from production. And yes, ROS's share price is also suffering in part from the situation in Mali. But it's still a better bet than AGG by far.
In AGG's case, how long has it taken (so far) from discovery to production? Maybe it could happen within 3 decades? Under Russian ownership?
